Rst reloading

[Holeshot]

I do what 10 bore says, lite loads with 700x. I started out scared to pull the trigger, now I loadem and shootem. You do need to examine your own barrels ,to see what you are comfortable with. I have an old set of stub twist in a 1 frame 12 that are severly pitted. I shootem all the time. Start out light and move up as you feel more comfortable. Dave

Maybe Rich (COB) will chime in here. He reloads RST 2.5" almost exclusively and I've shot his loads. They are very nice loads. I'm sure he is celebrating the winter solstice today but when he sobers up he will see this post and respond.

Here is the RST wad that I took out. The same in both shells. I know that the other thread mentions using IMR PB powder. My local shop does carry IMR powders. I see 700x is also made by IMR.

Ok here I am the holiday is over I have eated to much and NOT washed it down with an over indulgence of adult beverages as I had to drive to Grandmas house and back.

Brian I load only RST 2.5 inch hulls in 12,16,&20. If memory serves I'm using Clays powder in the 12 and Galandi wads in everything. If you would like specific data please PM me and I'll provide it.

The 2.5 inch shell can't be loaded on a Grabber but Mec will make you a 9000 (maybe a Grabber I didn't ask) for the shorter hull. I have one for 16's and will order another for the short 20.

Brian, I think Daryl is correct about it being a Gualandi wad. Here is a photo of the SG16 for comparison.
